    So, still no payment request for my two Grapples from HLJ...already paid for Cheetor. Decided to check the status, and Grapple is showing up as Discontinued? Anyone know what's going on? I've had this pre-ordered since mid-September...kinda weird to not be processing at this point...

    They sometimes take forever to process even if you ordered right away.

    It gets annoying at times.

    So question....

    I'm ordering Masterpiece Megatron v2.0 from them. I've ordered from HLJ before (I got Legends Fort Max from them and Masterpeice Starsaber), but I was wondering if you guys think that Megatron being a gun will cause issues importing it into the US? Anyone have any experience with something like this? Maybe with Megatron 1.0?

    As long as they have the orange tip on the barrel, it shouldn't be a big problem.

    I preordered Grapple on Sept 15th and I'm yet to get a payment request. I've never had an issue with HLJ not honoring my preorders, but I read the stories. Would it be safe to say to start looking for another vendor for Grapple? Who's got the best deal?

    I'd give them till Wed. They might not have gotten the full shipment in. Had that happen a few times on releases hitting close to the weekend. Usually Monday or Tuesday I got the payment request.

    I ordered from HLJ for the first time and I was wondering if SAL Registered is a good shipping method? I recently used DHL and while I don't mind the expediency the price was a bit much imo.

    SAL Registered is the cheapest (but slowest) shipping option that still allows you to track the package during it's journey. So if you don't mind the 2 to 4 week wait (depending on where you are) then it is a good option.

    Ditto. It would have been cool if I received the request a day earlier. Now, I'll probably have to wait until Monday or Tuesday.

    TF Cloud Roadbuster Web Limited

    Kind of hoping they get prime as well, unless I missed him in which case oh well.

    Thank you :)  Ordered Tracks. I saw he was on sale this weekend at TF Source and while I was thinking it over and decided to get him he was sold out. Really good price for an MP. Already have Roadrage so I know what I'm getting. I really appreciate the mold.
